Gram-positive rods. Nonspore-forming.
On Columbia horse-blood agar its colonies are small, entire, non-pigmented and do
not produce an odour. Facultatively anaerobic. Grow at 45 ºC, not at 15 ºC.

Obligately heterofermentative (hexoses are fermented to lactic & acetic acid (ethanol),
and CO2 via the phosphogluconate pathway; pentoses are fermented to lactic & acetic
acid by the related pentose phosphate pathaway.
Positive results for glucose fermentation.
Negative results for arginine hydrolysis, catalase, esculin hydrolysis, gelatin liquefaction, nitrate reduction, oxidase, urease,
Voges-Proskauer, fermentation of: arabinose, D-arabitol, cellobiose, esculin, galactose, glycogen, lactose, mannitol, mannose,
melezitose, melibiose, raffinose, salicin, sorbitol, sucrose, trehalose and xylose.
Variable results for ribose fermentation and gas production from glucose fermentation.
